• Become certified in MuleSoft’s Developer trainings

• Deliver product presentations and demonstrations that are tailored to the client’s technical requirements and audience
• Develop Proofs of Concept (PoCs) as part of an account team to demonstrate the art of the possible
• Put all the pieces together to “perfect your craft” by helping to close deals

12 months:

• Participate in the continuous improvement of MuleSoft products by making technical contributions and by providing feedback from the field to Product Marketing and Engineering
